DISCLOSURE:

The Werner Peak Lookout is in a
remote location. To provide this facility for rent to the public, maintenance
costs must be kept to minimum and basic cleaning and management of the amenities
(such as propane appliances) are mostly the responsibility of the parties using
the facility. Although this system has been largely successful in the past,
there are no guarantees that all amenities will be functioning or that the
previous renter has performed the check-out procedures adequately. The lookout
is rented in “as is” condition with no refunds. It is suggested that you come
prepared to stay at the lookout in “camping-like” conditions. In addition to
water, this would include bringing items such as; coolers, gas lamps, extra
blankets, cook stove, etc. Visitors can begin reserving now by calling the MT
